To all whmjt may concern Be it 'known' that I, o, o; Fusmlof Machias, in the county of Washington, in the Stateof Maine, haverinvented anew and Im# Vproved. Machine' for Deliye'ring Paper from Printing-Presses5iand I do hereby ,declare :that the following .is .a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable otliersV skilled in the art to make'and use the same, referen'cebeing to the accompanying drawings', inaking part4 of this specification,

vention, taken inthe line 'v' ai, Fig'. 2 Fig. 2,

a plan or 'topview of the same.'`

` Similar letters of! reference indicate'like VThis invention consists in the employment or use of nipper's arranged in such a manner "as to'have 'a reciprocating Amotion toV convey the sheetsfrom the press. j

@A represents a rectangularframe, in the uppcrpart o f which' two. rollers, B B, are placed transversely and around whichendless 'belts GC pass. .To these'belts a bar, D, is

attached transversely, the ends of the latter being fitted in' grooves la' in the sides of the frame, which serve as guides for said bar.

' 'E is ajb'ar which is connected to the bar D by hingesmb, the latter being at the under side of the bars to admit -of the bar E turning' downward, the ends of the latter having no connection with theframe A. The bar E is, -when not actuated' so as to beturned or forced downward', kept in a horizontal position with the barr D by means of an' india-rnbberor other spring Rattached to the'upper surfaces of said bars. j l i v To the Vbar. `D there are ,attached two or' more Vmetal strips, c; which form one jaw of nippei's G, the other jaw, 3L-being attached to the-bar E.' The jaws of fthe'se nippers, `when the bar Eis in a horizontal position with .the 4bar 1),-are in contact, and they areseparated when the bars DE reach either end of Athc 'frame' A, in consequence of pinete, which pro-vV ject laterally from pendent blocks f, attached to the ends of the bar E, passingl underneath beveled projections gat the sides of thefraine y A, which,cause the barfE to :turndownward t and the jaws of said' bars to more upward .l v'.,lvhe nippers G have a reciprocating inot'ion given them by operating or turning one ofthe "rollersB-irst in onedirection and then in the'other, the sheet being received by 'the open jawswhcn the latterare at-the backend Aot the frame near the press, the jaws .closing t 3 vand grasping the sheet' 'as they move toward the .opposite orouter4 'end of the `frame,thc jaws` opening whcn'they reach said endsof` that the sheet may be withdrawn from them.

I do not claim, broadly, the'advancingl and n i receding opening and closing nippers but What I cla-iin asV new, `and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is'- The bars D-E, provided, respectively, with jaws c d, the projection f, and pin e, in com ny `binationwithinclin'edplanes g. g, thef. spring 11, and the bolt C, by whichfthejawsare opened and closed at 'the appropriate t'iinestc t t receive, clasp, convey,- deliver, and rcturn,- H substantially as "ahovedescribed 'and represented. 1
